Summary
“So, where’s the evidence?” Tim asked.
“One moment,” Bruce said, still staring down at Lila like she was god’s greatest gift to earth. And she was the greatest gift to earth. But Tim’s greatest gift—not God’s—because Tim technically was the one who had swirled her up in a test tube.
Tim accidentally creates a baby out of his and Kon’s DNA in grief. He keeps this a secret until he can’t, and then pivots onto the story that he’s “babysitting.” With a family full of detectives, it’s a story unlikely to last.
(AKA the fic in which a baby prompts Tim to reconcile his relationships with his loved ones)

Summary
Ornithomancy is the practice of divining omens/messages from birds by their flight patterns, cries, and calls.
If someone asked Tim if he ever practiced the art of ornithomancy, he would flat out say, “Nah.” But he now realizes that reading the Batfamily’s mind was essentially the same thing.
He didn’t think that his power would get him into so much trouble, but he should’ve known better. He also didn’t think that they would ever find out about his ability, but as always, Tim was wrong.

Summary
“You will do more than just survive, Timothy Drake.” Z stated, “I will make you something, something better.”
“I don’t need to survive” Tim argued hollowly, “I need to find him and I don’t know how.”
“Then we will help,” Z stared at him, dark skin gleaming under the torch-light, “and we will do whatever it takes to do so. That is our order.”
“You’re ours,” Pru agreed, “at least, for now.”
Owens grinned, “Welcome to the League of Assassins, Tim.”
Death is something no one can escape, especially Tim, who was born with the ability to see the dead. Now, he’s on a mission to find his foster father, Bruce Wayne, who’s assumed dead. But death never strays far and Ra’s Al Ghul is nipping at his heels.

Summary
“Stealing isn’t good.” Tim stuffed a fry in his mouth,
“Breaking and entering isn’t either.” Hood added, “And you just did both.”
“You’re literally a murderer.”
“Serial murderer.” Nightwing corrected,
Tim squinted at them, “Oh, my bad. That makes it so much better.”
Or
Tim is born with the ability to see and communicate with the dead. It’s both a blessing and a curse.

A-01 (Worst Case Scenario) by LonelyLittleLizard, Norite
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel, DCU (Comics)

Summary
“Tell me about Thanos, then. Or what the hell Contingency A-01 is.”
“I don’t know,” Tim says again, with more fervor. “I don’t remember, alright? Last thing I remember, I was on patrol, and now you’re telling me I ended up in a different universe with half a note from my dad telling me about a contingency I swear to you I never heard of.”
Telling the truth betrays every instinct he has, but Tim is nerved out beyond all reasonable measures, and he just wants to find a way home.
Besides, he thinks, half-bitterly, it might be nice to have someone else in this lonely new universe, even if it's just for a little while.“I’ll make you a deal, okay?” He tries to bargain with the wizard. “I’ll help you with this Thanos guy, and you help me get back to my own universe.”
Or: Tim Drake ends up in the MCU with no memory of how he got there, and Stephen Strange and Tony Stark accidentally both adopt him.

Summary
“Do you know what universe you’re from?”
Red Robin blinks. “Um. Not exactly.”
Strange considers him. The suit is armored but light; his stance screams combat training; his eyes — what Stephen can see of them, anyway — are sharp and tired all at once.
And he’s a child. Not literally — a teenager, maybe — but he is still too young to be saying things like “grenade launcher” with that much nonchalance.
“This,” Strange says finally, “is not my problem.”
Or: Five times Stephen Strange summons Tim Drake on accident and the one time he means to

Summary
Tim prided himself on his ability to untangle problems.
Red Hood declared war on Batman again because of some bullshit that Bruce is doing in Crime Alley? Okay, no problem—Tim’s on Jason’s side for this one, and it’s easy enough to throw some financial and logistical support Hood’s way.
Robin’s benched, and Damian’s embarking on teenage rebellion? Sure, that one’s a little harder for Tim to fix, but still, he’s got at least five contingency plans for this exact scenario.
Jason’s recent crusade brought up memories that Tim hadn’t thought about for years, and now Tim’s stuck ruminating on the exact parameters of his undercover training and the precise definition of what counts as trauma?
…Yeah, so maybe Tim doesn’t have a solution to everything, and maybe this particular problem just won’t leave Tim alone. But the people he loves seem to refuse to abandon him, no matter how hard he tries. So maybe, just maybe, he’s going to have to figure out how to live through it, anyway.
(or: the ramifications of being raised as a soldier instead of a child, and what it means to break a cycle.)

Summary
While walking home from an event at Wayne Enterprises, Tim and Damian are kidnapped and sent to an alternate dimension. In a world where superheroes are merely comic book characters and the idea of the multiverse is only a theory found within the pages of science fiction, how are Tim and Damian going to return home? How long will they be stranded on this strange Earth? And will the boys murder each other before they figure it out?
